Seems to me Whitehead and Dunbar are a bit alike although Dunbar is bigger and hence more the RB.

Whitehead will be pressed to even make the roster.

I think he can, but it certainly is no lock

Depends on Dunbar IMO as well as his ability to stay healthy while playing KR and PR. His PR skills need to advance.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Whitehead get a majority of those yards on one carry? I'm pretty sure the other 9 fly sweep carries were terrible.

Dunbar ran a 4.48 like Heath. Lucky ran a 4.38 like Scandrick.

Don't think Dunbar is significantly slower on the field than Whitehead.

Looks like he had a couple of solid runs which is generally how big averages are made.

That said, with Dallas having Elliot I'm not looking to give a 5'10'', 160 lb WR any carries.

I think he is unlikely to get those snaps with EE and esp Dunbar around. His claim to fame his STs and I don't see anything special there. He'll have a hard time making the team this year IMO. If he can return punts then that gives him an edge assuming no one else does it better. We haven't had a remarkable PR in awhile.

Lucky is the fastest guy on offense and it's not even close. It looks like he has put on a lot of weight as well:

Remember Romo and Linehan like those single back 4WR shotgun sets on 3rd down.

Whitehead ran for these yards in these games:

10/25/15 - NY Giants: 4 carries for 35 yards
11/01/15 - Seattle: 1 carry 2 yards
12/07/15 - Washington: 2 carries 35 yards
12/13/15 - Green Bay: 1 carry 3 yards
12/19/15 - NY Jets: 2 carries 32 yards

So it didn't all come on one carry.

Heath isn't a sub-4.4 guy?

EDIT: Heath's low was 4.38. Obviously they don't go by the low alone.

Dunbar and Heath ran identical 4.48s at their prodays.

 

[CWR]

Whitehead developed as the season progressed. His return abilities are needed on this team, Id be suprised if he doesnt make the team.

You have to add a tenth of a second for Heath... fan hate hangs on him like a weighted vest.

Pretty much all white athletes get that treatment. Phrenology is still strong in this country.

 

[CATCH17]

That play sucked.

Yeah 10 YPC is just so sucky. This reminds me of you criticising the playcalling and being unable to name any route combinations they ran time after time.

I disagree. I think the Cowboys value him far more than you are. I think they look at him as a front runner as our kick returner and punt returner.

Lol....all white athletes get that huh? Just the ones that suck lol.
